As first reported on BoxingScene.com, Bob Arum is mulling over the possibility of a Yuriorkis Gamboa-Nonito Donaire fight in 2012. The proposed featherweight bout would be a high-profile HBO bout and one the network would jump at, according to HBO Sports V.P. of Programming Kery Davis.

I like how enthusiastic Kery Davis sounds when talking about Yuri. "(Gamboa's) talent jumps off the screen." "There's that 'it' factor there..." "It's very telegenic." "I think he's one of the top five most talented fighters in the sport. And on sheer talent, maybe top two or three." Those are some serious words.
